Professional Counselling, Psychotherapy and Supervision in South Devon and online
“Therapy is about helping people to understand themselves in a way that gives them more options and degrees of freedom.”
T.Butt, Understanding People, Palgrave, 2004
Welcome, and thank you for visiting my website. If you're thinking about starting therapy to explore issues which are causing you distress then I very much hope we can talk and think together about how I can best support you. I'm a Senior Accredited BACP Psychotherapist and Supervisor, based in Devon but also working online with individuals, couples and supervisees throughout the UK. I have over thirty years' experience as a therapist and I have particular experience of working with:
These are the kind of things my clients say when we meet:
"I keep avoiding things because I get so anxious...I feel like I'm missing out on life."
"Someone I love very much has died. How do I carry on without them?"
"Me and my partner keep arguing: we just can't stop - and I'm thinking about leaving."
"I've struggled with anger all my life: I can't control myself - when the red mist descends, watch out!"
"Sex in our relationship seems to be over... is there anything we can do about it?"
"My mum simply won't accept that I am gay...I feel so helpless."
"I've been feeling low for so long and I'm struggling to see how I can move forward."
"I used to be so certain about my faith - but now I'm not sure anymore."
"Someone I love very much has died. How do I carry on without them?"
"Me and my partner keep arguing: we just can't stop - and I'm thinking about leaving."
"I've struggled with anger all my life: I can't control myself - when the red mist descends, watch out!"
"Sex in our relationship seems to be over... is there anything we can do about it?"
"My mum simply won't accept that I am gay...I feel so helpless."
"I've been feeling low for so long and I'm struggling to see how I can move forward."
"I used to be so certain about my faith - but now I'm not sure anymore."
Each person I meet comes with a different story. I ask: 'What has happened to you?', and not 'What's wrong with you?' Talking and thinking together can help to make sense of why you feel the way you do and help you to develop deeper self-compassion and understanding.
My clients typically come from Dawlish, Exeter, Newton Abbot, Topsham and the surrounding area of South Devon, but you are welcome to contact me wherever you are based. I work online with clients based in other areas of the UK.
I also offer supervision to therapists both in Dawlish (South Devon) and online for those further afield. Please contact me for more details and to begin a conversation about working together.
(*I work with individuals and couples aged 18 and over)
